Chapter 8

I don't own anything that is mentioned in this chapter. I do own the Oc's but sense they aren't T.V. Shows I think that we will be fine.

Sasori's POV

I was pissed. Scratch that, I was beyond pissed. Last night I was in the middle of watching the Freddy movies, Nightmare On Elm Street, when Haki Iwa, of all people, called me. I would rather have someone call to tell me that my grandmother died, actually I would like that.

He sounded calm and didn't tell me what he wanted! All he said was that he had a proposition for me and told me to meet him at the park. This park of all places! Why did it have to be this one! I know why he did it. He did it to piss me off, that's why.

What did he want to talk to me about anyway? I ask myself. I shook my head roughly, my blood red hair swinging. I didn't care what he wanted, he pissed me off and I intend to get him back.

First of all Haki knows that I want nothing more to do with him and if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to know what the proposition was, I wouldn't be here. I cursed my own curiosity for this. Also I was stuck waiting for Haki.

Curse him! He knows that I hate waiting.

I looked up from the park bench that I sat at and saw who had me waiting, walking towards me slowly with Deidara following closely behind. I smirked when I saw the blonde. He was walking behind Haki slowly and he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. I don't blame him, I don't want to be here either.

It was weird though. That Haki brought Deidara with him. It must be something to do with Deidara.I mused then I frowned. Didn't that brat keep his mouth shut like I told him to or is it about something else.

It must be about something else. I figured sense Haki didn't seem angry and I knew for a fact that if he found out that I was teaching Deidara then he would be really angry. So what brought him here then?

Haki had that creepy and evil smirk plastered on his features while Deidara looked all but happy. I am sure that he had no clue that I was the one that Haki was meeting because if he knew I am sure he would look happier. For some reason he was always happy and smiling when he was around any of the Akatsuki members.

"What is it you need Haki?" I growl out as he gets closer. I watch as Deidara's head shoots up and looks at me with surprise. I give him a fierce look that said to act like we have never met before. He gave me a short nod that old e he understood and Haki just saw me staring at Deidara. He thought I was curious as to who it was though he didn't really show it.

"Why Sasori, I'm genuinely hurt." He said in fake sadness.

"I don't give a damn." I tell him, returning back to my stoic posture. "Tell me what this is about. First you tell me to meet you for god-knows-what and then you show up late."

"It's not my fault." He said defensively. "I know that you hate waiting Sasori but my nephew doesn't and I practically had to drag him." If only he knew.I thought and I noticed Deidara glaring at Haki harshly.

"Whatever." I grunted. "What do you want?"

"On Wednesday is parent/teacher conferences." Haki said slowly. I smirked. He remembers how I am when I am mad. I also faintly recall Kakuzu mentioning something about having to take Hidan to that. I suddenly realized what Haki wanted.

"No way in hell." I tell him.

"What do you mean?" Haki asks. "I haven't even asked anything of you yet."

"Haki! I am not stupid and I am certainly not doing your job for you!" I say angrily. "Take some responsibility."

"I already have plans made for that night and going to those things just isn't my kind of thing."

"I don't care. Just take responsibility for your family. Deidara here is your family weather you like it or not and that means you have to support him."

"I do not need to do anything of the kind. Are you saying that if any of your family died and left you with a child then you would take care of it without question and giving up your ways?"

"Yes I would." I tell him. "Now do as you have to and take responsibility for your actions." I gave him a hard look. "Do what your sister did." I threw over my shoulder as I went to walk off. I knew that I had gotten to him when I mentioned his sister. I also didn't miss Deidara looking at me in shock. He had no clue about what happened, I don't think he did anyways.

"Sasori! Get back here!" Haki yelled at me.

"Why should I?" I ask angrily as I continued to walk away.

"You know Melissa, right?" I stop, frozen in place and then I turn around to face his smirk. His eyes showed hate and regret.

"What about her?" I ask.

"Who, un?" Deidara asked, confused.

"Be quiet!" Haki snapped at him, making him flinch and fall silent. He then turned back to meet my gaze. "Melissa is a colleague of mine and when I spoke with her last, she said something about having a date, if I remember right."

"What are you getting at?" I said, meeting his eyes challengingly.

"I can get you out of that date." He offered. "If you want that is." I would give anything to get out of this date, but what did Haki get out of this?

"Yes I want out of it." I say. "But what do you want?"

"You know what I want. If I get you out of that date with Melissa then you have to take Deidara to the parent/teacher conferences."

"You haven't changed a bit."

"Neither have you. Now what do you say?"

"Fine, but you have to get the date canceled before I do shit."

"Temper, Sasori, temper."Haki said, smirking with the pleasure of winning his game. "There is a child in the area."

"He lives with you so I doubt that him hearing bad language would poison his mind. Also I heard Hidan mentioning him every so often. If he goes to school with Hidan he is going to know every word under the sun. And we are at a park so of course there would be children in the facility."

"Still using big words I see."

"Still being an ass I see." I flashed back. Really I thought our first meeting after so many years would be a lot worse than this, I am sure that if Deidara wasn't here it would be so much worse. I don't know why but I didn't want Deidara to see his uncle getting his ass kicked.

"Touche." Haki said and raised his arms in the air. "Don't worry Sasori I will get that date canceled."

"You better and you let me know once you get it done." I turn to leave again but a hand stops me. I turn my head and frown at Haki. He grabbed my shoulder so casually, we weren't even friends anymore so why did he do that?

"Why don't you wait a few more minutes before leaving. I can get it all settled right now." I shake his hand off my shoulder and said a rough 'fine' before sitting on the bench again, next to Deidara. He had decided to sit down while we were arguing and talking.

"When are we going home, un." Deidara asked. I looked at him in a surprise, even though it didn't show on my face. Deidara always seemed happy and he was normally smiling and his voice always seemed light, not now though. Now he seemed rejected, sad. It was weird, hearing his voice laced with sadness when I normally heard him laughing.

"Shut up Deidara." Haki stated. "We will go home once I make this call." He took out his cell phone and hit some buttons and then put the phone up to his ear. He turned up the volume a little. I soon realized why he did this. It was so that I could here what Melissa was saying. I had to admit he knew how to get his way.

"Hey Haki! What's up?" I heard a female voice on the other side of the phonespoke. I assumed it Melissa. Just then Haki winked at me. I frowned at that. He was acting like we were still friends but we weren't.

"Hey Melissa." Haki said. "I just found something out that I think you need to know."

"Like what?" She sounded skeptical.

"You remember how you were telling everyone at work about your date with Akasuna?"

"Ya what of it?"

"Well as you know, we used to be really close and I was worried about him hurting you because he never used to be good at relationships."

"You, worried about me? I am flattered but what is this news and what did you do?"

"Well I know that I shouldn't have went into his life but I did. I did some research on him and I found out that there is a very, very, very high chance that he has AIDs." I choked on my own spit and glared hard at the man on the phone. At the moment I was making many different plans on how to kill him in my head.

"He what!" The woman practically screeched.

"Yes I am so sorry Melissa but I don't think that you should date a man that you can get a non-curable disease from. Please cancel that date with him."

"I am way ahead of you! I am canceling that date right now. Thank you for looking out for me."

"No problem. It's what friends are for and I will see you monday."

"See you Monday." With that they both hung up. If looks could kill Haki would be in hell's hell by now.

"What the hell, Haki!" I snarled. He just shrugged.

"Your dates canceled." Was all he said.

"Yes it is and now there is somebody who thinks that I have AIDs."

"I never said that you had them. I just said that there was a high chance that you might have them."

"Same difference."

"Well you can handle it. Now you have to take Deidara to the conferences."

"Fine. What time are they?" I asked. I was not happy about this at all. Okay maybe I was a little happy that I got out of that annoying date but I was not happy about having to do Haki's job and take Deidara to his parent/teacher conferences, Haki telling that woman that I had AIDs didn't help at all.

"Well how about you either pick him up at 7:30, if he is home that is." Haki said and I could see that Deidara wanted to say something but he held his tongue. I decided to try a different approach from Haki's.

"I mean that is a good idea Haki but how about if he just walk with Hidan to my house on Wednesday so that it will save everybody the trouble?" I suggested. It would be a lot easier sense Deidara came to my house everyday after school anyways, so why not use that to my advantage.

"I really don't know about that." Haki said. I rolled my eyes.

"I know that we don't like each other but everyday around the time school lets out our gang meets up so Hidan and Itachi and Tobi always walk to my place after school. Deidara can stay at my house until it is time for the parent/teacher conferences and then after them I will take him home and tell you how he is doing in his classes." I stated.

"I guess that would be easier." Haki agreed, reluctantly.

"Okay." I nodded. "Then it's decided." I stand up off the bench and move my neck so that it was forced to pop, an old habit. "Now if you don't mind I am going home because I have to go get some art supplies."

"You still go to Amazing Arts, don't you?" Haki said with a shake of his head.

"Yes I do and I am going to continue getting supplies there."

"Fine." Haki stated. I turned to leave again but then I heard him sigh. "Sasori?"

"Hm?" I didn't turn around but I was curious as to why his tone softened lightly.

"Dean is supposed to be working today. Tell him to drop by Monday after school."

"Fine." I sighed and walked away. I don't know why I agreed to tell Dean this, but I figured it was because I think I knew the real relationship between Dean and Haki.

Then I turned my head slightly so that I could see Haki walking the opposite way with Deidara walking slowly behind. My heart ached a little bit. I couldn't explain it, but over the last few weeks that I spent with Deidara I felt myself getting attached to him. It was weird. It normally took my years to actually get attached to someone but Deidara managed to get me attached to him within a few weeks.

It made me happy to see Deidara's face when I was teaching him, when he was laughing and smiling. I couldn't understand how Deidara was having this sort of effect on me. I watched a little longer as Deidara trailed after Haki, then I turned my head back so that I was facing forward.

I knew how Haki could be when he was angry. I knew how he got if he didn't get what he wanted or if he was drunk. I am sure that Deidara didn't know any of these things, no, I knew that he didn't know them. Haki could become a real beast if he wanted to.

I hope he doesn't hurt you Deidara.

There is nothing really that major in this chapter but I do think that it is better than the last one.

For those of you who haven't seen Nightmare On Elm Street, or as I call them, 'The Freddy Movies' you should see them. They are awesome but if you don't like horror films than you probably shouldn't watch them.

I have thought of an idea that probably won't work very well but I will try it out and see how it works out. You will know if it works out because if it works out I will update a lot on Sundays.

Does anybody have any guesses about what's going to happen?
